Thesis: Yes, I think fairy tales are good for children. They do more than just entertain, they help kids understand their emotions, learn life lessons, and use their imagination. These stories often have simple messages about right and wrong, facing fears, and believing in yourself, which can really stick with kids as they grow up.
One Article I read from List A Is the “The Positive Impacts of Fairy Tales for Children,”. Leilani VisikoKnox-Johnson talks about how fairy tales help kids deal with feelings like fear, anger, and sadness. I liked how she explained that stories give kids a safe way to explore tough emotions. That stood out to me because I remember how stories made me feel better when I was little, even if I didn’t understand why at the time.
The article I choose from list B is Mary Howarth’s article “Rediscovering the Power of Fairy Tales” which was really interesting. She writes about how fairy tales help kids (and teachers) be more creative and curious. I liked how she connected stories to learning and imagination. It made me think about how fairy tales are more than just fun; they can actually help kids grow and think in new ways.
